WPA: Wi-Fi Protected Access. There are three WPA encryption modes - TKIP and AES and
Mixed.
TKIP: Temporal Key Integrity Protocol
AES: Advanced Encryption Standard
Mixed: WPA2 Mixed mode operation permits the coexistence of WPA
and WPA2 clients on a common SSID. WPA2 Mixed Mode is a Wi-Fi
Certified feature. During WPA2 Mixed Mode, the access point advertises
the encryption ciphers (TKIP, CCMP, other) that are available for use.
The client selects the encryption cipher it would like to use and the
selected encryption cipher is used for encryption between the client and
access point once it is selected by the client. The access point must
support WPA2 Mixed Mode to use this option.
